Same Venue Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions – Our Guide to Setting the Mood

By Joe Hyer - Create Excitement DJ’s Multimedia Specialist

Your wedding is your special day. From start to finish it is critical that you and your guests recognize and embrace this. The magic of your wedding day begins long before you walk down the aisle.

For the wedding couple the magic begins the moment you wake up that morning. For the wedding guests it begins the second they arrive at the venue. At Create Excitement, we’ve learned the importance of creating a good mood for you and your guests ahead of time. The great feeling of celebration and the magic of love should last from the start of the day until the last dance of the night.

So far we’ve gotten a lot of requests for single venue events this year, and for us that’s exciting! That means we get to be apart of your special day start-to-finish. If you’re planning on a ceremony and reception being held venue, consider letting us master the mood of the entire day. After all, we’re experts in setting the right mood. We work on this for days and hours before we even arrive on site. And more importantly, when the big day arrives, we’ll go the extra mile to put in the necessary time to help create this magical feeling.

This starts before the ceremony. We can play music before the first guest even arrives. The right background music will leave your guests with a great first impression of your big day. We have a full list of traditional and unique prelude favorites - Wedding DJ Prelude Songs These tunes include tracks like: “In my Life,” by the Beatles and “I Do Cherish You,” by 98 Degrees, and orchestral favorites like Vivaldi’s, The Four Seasons: Spring Allegro.

As the ceremony begins we’re happy to work with you to find the right DJ wedding processional songs and DJ Bride Entrance Wedding Songs. If you don’t have the tracks in mind just yet, our website is full of lists that’ll guide you through both, and we’re happy to work with you one-on-one. After all, Ben, Ginette, and their staff have twenty years of experience in doing this.

During the ceremony we can offer you a full sound system for the ceremony that’ll be setup before the first guests even arrive. So they can enjoy the magic of the great company and scenery of the venue.

After the ceremony, nothing could be worse than an awkward silence. We’re on sight and able to help play the right recessional music and keep the music and feeling going through a cocktail hour or the beginning of the wedding reception.



So as your booking your single venue event consider hiring us to create the mood with you start to finish on your big day. If you don’t believe us, just do a web search to see our reviews!

Bride’s Choice Award 2012 – New Jersey Wedding DJ - We’ve done it AGAIN

By Joe Hyer - Create Excitement DJ’s Multimedia Specialist

Create Excitement DJ’s is proud to announce that we are recipients of the 2012 Bride’s Choice Award for DJ Wedding Entertainment.

This award, which is given to the top 5 of wedding professionals in the WeddingWire community, means we’re among the best in New Jersey. In fact, we are one of the only Disc Jockey Services to be awarded this honor in multiple markets. We won the Bride’s Choice Awards in BOTH North Jersey and South Jersey. It is pretty humbling to be ranked as one of the best Wedding DJ Services in New Jersey. It’s a big state after all, but it is nice to know that our hard work is paying off. We love what we’re doing, and wouldn’t trade it for the world!

We are no strangers to this honor either. We won the award in 2011 as well

What does it mean though?Well, the award is given to the professionals who are ranked highest amongst clients. This includes reviews submitted on our WeddingWire page. Newlyweds also fill out surveys that are sent directly from WeddingWire after their big day. We have five star ratings in all categories that are surveyed!

Let’s highlight just a few of these categories that we’ve been recognized for our excellence in:

Quality of Service –After you book your wedding DJ, some wedding professionals won’t call you until the week of your big day. Create Excitement works with you throughout the planning process. We work hard for you starting the moment you contact us about your big day.

The Create Excitement team puts hours into prepping our events. We don’t start just the night before by gathering some music files. We’re working hard on creating the right mood and preparing you and your guests to have a great time. We put in the hard work so you’ll able to enjoy the big day

Our reviews from newlyweds on WeddingWire all agree, take a look for yourself! Johnnymusc wrote in September, 2011 that his wedding was perfect thanks to Create Excitement:

Ben worked SO hard with us to make sure our music was perfect for our wedding. My husband and I are music fanatics and wanted to incorporate some offbeat music into our wedding, which Ben did seamlessly. From the ceremony music to the last song at the reception, the music was absolutely perfect.”

Responsiveness –The team at Create Excitement works to please YOU.

I have been with the team for about a year, and I can honestly say Ben and Ginette respond quicker to requests from clients than any other professional I have ever seen.

Junebride wrote after her June, 2011wedding that the constant contact with Create Excitement was great!

“Ben & Ginette were AWESOME!!!! We met with Ben before the wedding & were in constant contact with him via e-mail. He was always very responsive (replied within hours to an e-mail)… Post-wedding, all the guests have been commenting to us & both set of parents about how fantastic Ben was. To say he is highly recommended is an understatement! If you need a DJ - BOOK HIM!!!!!”

No matter the occasion, you can be sure that Ben and Ginette will respond and work with any requests you have. No phone call or email goes unnoticed. Their commitment to the industry is amazing.

Some of the other qualities that we were rated on include value, flexibility, and professionalism. We have five star rating in all those categories.

For the value, we’ve been told that our clients love that our prices are always listed on our website. That is important to us! We know that we’re offering the highest quality at the best prices possible.

Mxpwed spoke in September, 2011 on WeddingWire.com about the value of booking Create Excitement:

The prices for Create Excitement are easily accessible on the website. This made it easy for us to determine which of the many available services fit within our budget. There were never any surprises or fee upcharge for any of the elements that we selected. This made our experience with Ben and Create Excitement even more positive. We would definitely recommend Ben and Create Excitement to our friends and family.”

For flexibility, I think our more than twenty years of experience make the difference. We’re willing to adjust on the fly. Our twenty years of experience allow us to realize that no special day is ever the same. We’ve seen a lot of variables and our professionalism means you’ll never have to worry about a variable. We’ve seen a lot, but first and foremost, we work to please you.

KathySunberg wrote on her WeddingWire reviewthat Ben and the Create Excitement team worked pretty hard during Hurricane Irene in August, 2011:

This is the second time we had Ben as our DJ, two years ago and then on 8/27/2011 during Hurricane Irene. Not only was he always available, he double-checked every small detail to ensure our daughter's wedding was perfect.”

We are here for you. If you have a question or want to learn more, just let us know!

What to do immediately following your engagement?

By Joe Hyer, Create Excitement Multimedia Specialist

This past week has been busy for a lot of us! But I guess it has been a busier week for some more than others.

It is a estimated that 10 percent of all engagements begin on Valentine's Day. So if you're newly engaged, let us begin by offering our heartfelt congratulations!

Now that you're engaged there are a few things that we want to remind you of as you celebrate:

• Don't forget to call your friends and relatives! You may be so excited, and just want to announce the news all over Facebook, but try to avoid it.

Your relatives and friends will appreciate that you took the time to personally share the news (over the phone). After you've told them, post photos of the ring to facebook and let the celebrating continue!

• Enjoy the engagement: Take some time as a couple to enjoy each others presence.

The next few months will be a whirlwind, and you're going to get very stressed out. Take the time to go on a date and remind each other that you're in love.

It'll help a lot to appreciate the little things throughout the process. Do not burn yourselves out! It is okay to take breaks throughout the process. In fact, it is super important.

Now in terms of planning, there are a few additional tips that we can offer:

Set a date and develop a budget as a quickly as you can. It'll allow you to have mental deadlines in mind, and will allow you to have some goals.

The date can change, but it helps keep the couple and their loved ones on the same page throughout the planning process. Oh, and it removes that awkward answer to the “When's the wedding?” question that you'll get asked a lot!.

Picking a date early is helpful too. It effects the logistics (like cost and availability). We've noticed brides are favoring weekday for the big day because of discounts, so you may be surprised to find that your special day has been booked!

Begin finding your wedding professionals. Whether or not you're planning on a long engagement, and it doesn't hurt to begin meeting with professionals (caterers, venues, photographers, and of course DJ's!) as early as possible.

Finding the right Professional Disc Jockey Entertainers can be stressful, but we're here for that. We are a polished, professional and detail oriented DJ company. At Create Excitement we can help you visualize your ceremony and reception.

As the big day gets closer, take a look at our time-line for brides and grooms to be as well. You'll learn what you should be doing a month, week, and day ahead of your special day.

We have more that twenty years experience DJ Wedding Reception Ceremonies in helping coupled visualize the feeling of their special day. Our experience and Online Wedding Planner will help you select the music for your perfect day! Let us help you early on, and relieve some of the stress, so you can enjoy the engagement!

Take a look at our weddings page on our website today as they can help you begin to visualize your planning process!

And feel free to contact us at anytime. We're more that happy to help as you begin this exciting journey.
